Teen Autism

I’ve been contacted by a few companies/organizations that would like to get the word out on Autism Awareness Month happenings, so I thought I would post a notice about them to let everyone know.

First up is TRP Wellness! This company features DVDs on OT/sensory issues and yoga instruction for special needs children, a section with tips and resources, a blog, and a newsletter. From now until April 30, in honor of Autism Awareness Month, their OT/sensory issues DVD series is on sale at 20% off! Just enter the code “April2009″ at checkout.

Next, Autism One would like to announce that May 20-24 they will host the “Change Has Come” conference in Chicago, Illinois. This conference is a great opportunity to learn more about what you can do to immediately start helping your child, confidently and economically navigate the medical intervention terrain, learn how to talk to your pediatrician to get the tests your child needs, and meet other parents. Click here for details.

Lastly, be sure to check out all the events that your local chapter of the Autism Society of America has planned for Autism Awareness Month. For instance, here in Oregon, the Autism Society of Oregon is hosting the “Take a Break on ASO” program, which gives gift cards for dinner out and a movie, with reimbursement for 4 hours of respite care! They also have many other activities planned for the month. If you’re not sure of your state’s website (some states have more than one chapter), go here to see a listing of contact information for each state. Have a great April!
